Vtech energy star dual handset model#6619-2 HOW DO I CHANGE HOW MANY TIMES IT RINGS?

Do you mean the VTech CS6829 cordless phone system? You can choose between 2 - 6 rings or toll saver. (Toll saver rings twice when new messages are on the answering system. If there are no new messages, it will ring 4 times.) To change the setting, press Menu (top right hand side of the buttons surrounding the volume buttons) on a handset when the system is in standby (no handsets in use for a call or accessing the system). Use the up and down arrows (volume) to reach the line labeled Answering sys. Press the Menu button to select this. Use the arrow keys to navigate to Ans sys setup and press Menu to select. Repeat the navigation to highlight and select # of rings. Repeat to highlight the desired number of rings and press Menu/Select to save your choice. You should hear a confirmation tone. Press Off/Cancel (the lower right hand button around the volume buttons) to exit the menu system.

The manual for the VTech CS6829 is available on the product page: https://www.vtechphones.com/store/pd/2346/CS6829-Cordless-Answering-System-with-Caller-ID-Call-Waiting . The current link to the manual is https://cdn-web.vtp-media.com/products/CS/CS6829/CS6829_UM_V5_20141205.pdf . See page 25 for the section on setting the number of rings.

I hope this helps.

Enter the model of your VTech 5.8GHz phone into the search box at http://www.vtechphones.com/support/general/manuals to download a copy of the manual.

The CS6719-16 isn't an answering machine. Please give us the make and model of the answering machine on which you'd like to change the number of rings.

The base and the handset are not communicating. To have them do so, you need to "register" the handset with the base. Since you neglected to specify the model of your VTech DECT 6.0 phone I can't tell you how to do that. I can suggest you enter the model number into the search box here to download a copy of the manual. The manual will give you instructions on how to register the handset.

Since you declined to specify the model of your VTech answering machine, enter it into the search box at

Yes, you can transfer a call from one handset to another. Since you didn't specify the model of your VTech phone, I can't tell you exactly how to do that. I can direct you to enter the model into the search box here to download a copy of the manual.
